I was the one glueing things on the barrette for the girls because I don't dare let them use a hot glue gun just yet, but they were the ones putting the combos together. We have been short on things for the hair because somehow they all end up magically missing, so I thought it was time to make some new ones. The result was happy girls, so I think it was mission accomplished.

We used 1.5'' and 2'' barrettes from here, the pom poms were bought at the dollar store, and the jewels and cabachons were bought on etsy. Now, you can make your own colorful stock of fanciful barrettes!

My mom and I used to make clips like this when I was little! More like, she'd make, I'd watch. Then she'd make massive amounts to give away in our birthday party favor bags. My mom would have been an amazing blogger, now that I think about it!

Love your blog! I was just wondering.. what kind of software or tool do you use to put your own handwriting in your pictures? For example the picture above with all the things needed for the barrettes. I would love to know. Thank you!
